Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former twice unified boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
