The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 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."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
