I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
