The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"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 plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
