I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually happening.
