I'll stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly happening.
