I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really happening.
