Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's bout.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
