The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
