I'll overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
