I'll overwhelm 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
