I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
