Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually happening.
