I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected 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."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
