Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
