The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
