The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
