I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly happening.
