I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
