I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming bout.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
