I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
