I will dominate 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really going ahead.
