Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
