The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Former two time unified title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
