The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
