I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Former twice world boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
