The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
