I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
