I'll overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
