The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
