I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
