Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
