I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
