Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really happening.
