I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
