Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
