The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
