The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Former twice world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually happening.
