I'll stamp all over 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
