Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really happening.
