I will overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
