I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
