Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
