The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
