I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
