The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
