I will stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
