I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
