I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
