I will stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
