I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
