Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
