I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
