I'll dominate 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
