I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex twice unified boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
