I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
