I'll dominate 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really happening.
