The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly happening.
