The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote next month's bout.
Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really proceeding.
