I'll overwhelm 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
