I will overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
