Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Ex twice unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
