The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial earnings.
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
