I will stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to promote next month's bout.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly happening.
