I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
