I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
