I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
