Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
