I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
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 in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
