I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
