The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop 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 declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
