I'll dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
