I will stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
