Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
