I will overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
