I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, 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 said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
