I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
