I'll stamp all over 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually happening.
