I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
