The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
