Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
