The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
