I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
