I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
