The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
