I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
