I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton 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 bout.
Ex two time unified title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really proceeding.
