I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
