I will dominate 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
