I will dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
