I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Former twice world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
