Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
