Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
