Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
