The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
