The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly happening.
