Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
