Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
