I'll overwhelm 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
