I'll stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time unified boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," 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 cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
