I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two time world title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
