Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly happening.
