I will dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
