I'll dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
