Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is really going ahead.
