The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
