Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually proceeding.
