I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two-time world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated 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 declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
