I will dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really happening.
