Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Former twice world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
