I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
