I'll overwhelm 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
