The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is really going ahead.
