The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
