‘If I can kill you, I will kill you’: Anthony Joshua doesn’t plan to go easy on Jake Paul
At today’s final press conference ahead of the Netflix event on Friday night featuring Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua, both fighters took the stage to discuss the upcoming match. One of the primary concerns among fans regarding this fight is its authenticity—specifically, is this really a legitimate bout? Joshua asserts that it is. Here’s a selection of his comments.Anthony Joshua on competing against Jake Paul“That’s the essence of this fight; it sparks conversation…and that’s what we desire. The more chatter generated about the fight—regardless of the nature of that discussion—is a significant advantage. Therefore, for me, I’m not focused on the integrity aspect; I’m more concerned about whether they’re engaging in talk. As long as they are, then we’re succeeding.”On how he would assess Paul compared to previous rivals in his career“This would be akin to the initial phase of my career. He would be someone I would have faced early on. I’ve accumulated a lot of experience since then. So, yes, I would categorize him as someone from my starting days. I can’t pinpoint exactly who, but perhaps someone from the beginning of my career.”On whether he will hold back against Paul for entertainment value“Zero percent of me. And it’s not merely because it’s Jake. I was reflecting on myself today; I’m a very respectful individual raised in a good family, but if I have the chance to finish you, I certainly will. That’s just my nature. This is a job that I’m committed to, so let’s get to it.”
