I will dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
