I will overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
