I will dominate 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
