Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
