I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
