Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
