I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, consistently making substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
