I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
