I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
