I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually proceeding.
