The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually happening.
