The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
