Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
