I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
