Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's bout.
Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
