Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
