Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
