I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
