Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
