I'll stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
