The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
