I will stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly happening.
