I will stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a ÂŁ1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
