The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
