Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time unified title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
