The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
