The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival 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 UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
