Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Ex twice unified boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
