I'll stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
