Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
