I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
