Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
