Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly happening.
