I will dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
