Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly happening.
