Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
