I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
