I'll overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two time unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
