Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
