I will overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
