The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Former two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
