Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
