I will dominate 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
