I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
