British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually happening.
