I will stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Former two time world title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
