I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly happening.
