I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
