I will overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
