I will stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.
Former twice world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
