Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
