The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
