I will stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually happening.
