Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
