Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
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] is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
