I'll stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
