Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really going ahead.
