I will stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
