I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
