I will stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
