The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two-time unified title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually happening.
