I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the traditional face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
