I'll overwhelm 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
