The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly happening.
