The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
