I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually happening.
