The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, 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 actually happening.
