Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the customary face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
