Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually happening.
