I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to 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'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
