Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's bout.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
