I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really happening.
