The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
