I'll overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's bout.
Former twice world title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
