I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
