The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
