Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
