The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
