Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
