I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
