I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really going ahead.
