I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
