Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
