The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
