Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
