I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
