Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
