I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
