I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
