I'll dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
