Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
