I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
