I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
