I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming bout.
Former twice world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
