Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really happening.
