The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
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 plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
