The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
