I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
