I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
