I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former twice unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
