I'll stamp all over 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[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 comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
