I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
