The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
