I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
