Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
