I will stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is really happening.
