Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really happening.
