Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really proceeding.
