I will stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
