The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
