I'll dominate 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a ÂŁ1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
