Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the traditional confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
