The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
