I will stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
