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.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
