Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
