I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary stare-down, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really going ahead.
