The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
