I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually happening.
