Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
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 serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
