Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is really going ahead.
