Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
