I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
