The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
