I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
