The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
