Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
