Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
