The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
