The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
