I will stamp all over 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
