Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
