The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly happening.
