I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
