Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the traditional face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
