Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
