Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
