I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
