I'll stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
