Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually happening.
