The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
