I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former twice unified title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
