I will dominate 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
