I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
