I will stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
