""I want him to cut me up, I want him to break my face," he said of upcoming opponent Anthony Joshua, "but guess what, he's gonna have to kill me to stop me, and I'm ready to die. Seriously, ready to die in the ring to win this fight.""
""If I'm being honest, I'm going to break his face," he said, "I'm going to break his body up, I'm going to stomp all over him.""
""They say be careful what you wish for, kind of feel like that's all I need to say," Hearn said in a statement obtained by ESPN. "Two of the biggest names in the sport will collide on Dec 19. Whilst I admire Jake's balls, he's going to find out the hard way in Miami.""
Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua will meet at the Kaseya Center in Miami on December 19 in an eight-round fight of three-minute rounds to be live-streamed on Netflix. Paul said he is ready to be seriously injured or die in the ring to win the fight. Paul had been scheduled to fight WBA lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis, but that match was canceled after Davis faced an intimate partner violence lawsuit. Joshua is a former Olympic gold medalist and two-time unified heavyweight champion who warned he will break Paul's face and body. Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn predicted Paul will learn a hard lesson in Miami.
