The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly happening.
