Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
As both boxers engaged in the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually happening.
