I'll stamp all over 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
