Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
