The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Former two-time world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
