The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
