The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
