Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
