The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
