I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
