Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live 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.
Ex two time world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
