I will stamp all over 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
