Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
