I will dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
