I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Former twice world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
