I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
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 was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
