I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
