I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming bout.
Former twice unified boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
