Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
