Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really happening.
