I will overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
