I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," 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 intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
