I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is really going ahead.
