I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is really proceeding.
