I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
