I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
