I'll dominate 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
