Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
