The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
