I will stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
