Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly happening.
