I'll stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
