I will stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually happening.
