I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
