I will stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
