The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
