The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
