Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
