I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
