I'll dominate 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly happening.
