I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
