Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
