The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former two time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
