I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
