The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
