Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
