The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
