I'll stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually happening.
