Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
