I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
