The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
