Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
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 Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
