Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
