The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
