I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Former twice unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
