Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
