I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly happening.
