I will dominate 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
