I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
