I will stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
