Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
