I'll dominate 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
