I will stamp all over 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
