Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
