The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
