I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, 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 highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
