The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
