I'll overwhelm 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
