Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former twice unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
