I will stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
