Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Former two-time unified title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
