The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
