Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
