I'll overwhelm 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
