I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
