Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
