The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Former twice world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
