I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a ÂŁ1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually happening.
