The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans 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 Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
