I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two time unified title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
