I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
