Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
