I'll overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really happening.
