I will stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 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 Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
