Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
