I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
