Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually happening.
