Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
