Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
