I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
