I'll overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
