I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
