I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
