The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
