I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
