Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
