I'll dominate 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
