I will stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame 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 Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
