I will dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
