Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
