I will overwhelm 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match.
Former two-time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
