Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time unified title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
