Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual confrontation, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually proceeding.
