Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
