Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
