I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
