Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Former twice world title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
