Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
