I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
