Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
