The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
