I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
