I will dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
