I'll stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former twice world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
