I'll overwhelm 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really going ahead.
