The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
