I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
