I will dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
