Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
