I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"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."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
