I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
