I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
