I will dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
