I'll stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's bout.
Former two-time world boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
