I will dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
