I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really proceeding.
