I will overwhelm 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really happening.
