I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
