Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually happening.
