I will dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former twice unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
