Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really going ahead.
