Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly happening.
