Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
