I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Former twice unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
