The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features 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 a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
