Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
