I will dominate 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
