I will dominate 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
