I'll stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
