I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.
Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
