Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually going ahead.
