I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
