Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
