The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
