I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
