I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
