Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
