Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly happening.
