Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.

Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is really happening.
