The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
