The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
