Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really going ahead.
