The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair met personally to promote next month's bout.
Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
