The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
