I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
