I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making 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 Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
