I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
