Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually happening.
