The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is really proceeding.
