The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
