The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really proceeding.
