Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
