I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
