The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
