Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity 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
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is really proceeding.
