I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
