Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
