I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex twice unified title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break 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'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
