The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
