The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
