Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
