I'll dominate 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the pair met personally to promote next month's bout.
Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
