I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really happening.
