The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
