Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
