I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the novice is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
