The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly happening.
