The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
