I will dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
