I will stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
