I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
