The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually happening.
