Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's bout.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
