I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
