I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
