The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent 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's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
