I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
