The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly happening.
