Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really happening.
