Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
