The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
