I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, 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.
