I'll stamp all over 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
