I will dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - 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 stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
