I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
