I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Former twice unified boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a ÂŁ1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
