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 said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
