Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
