I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
