Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
