Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
