I will dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Former twice unified title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
