Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 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 my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly happening.
