Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
