Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
