Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually happening.
