Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged 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 truly going ahead.
