I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will damage his features and break his body up. 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 really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
