I will dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
