The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
