Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
