I will overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is really going ahead.
