I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited 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 stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
