I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
