Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually happening.
