I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
