Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
