Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
