Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
