I will dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
