I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
