Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really happening.
