Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
