I will overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
