Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
