I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
