Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
