Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really happening.
