I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
