I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
