I'll dominate 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
