I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
