Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually going ahead.
