I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
