The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly happening.
