I'll overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. 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 how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly happening.
