I'll dominate 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually happening.
