Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually proceeding.
