I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
