I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Former twice world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
