Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
