I'll stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually happening.
