I'll stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the customary stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
