Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
