I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
