Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
