Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
