I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
