I'll dominate 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time 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 promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
