I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
