Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
